Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz has been summoned for questioning by Scotland Yard on Sept. 14 over the alleged spot-fixing scandal that erupted during the fourth and final test against England.

"We have allowed him to be interviewed and made him available as we believe in fully cooperating with the ongoing investigations," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt told a news conference in Lahore on Thursday.

Riaz, 25, a left-armer, claimed five wickets on his debut in the third test against England and is a member of Pakistan's one-day squad for the five-match series which starts in Durham on Friday.
